AbdulAhBlongattaGot mine free as a gift from work in 2018. Still works perfectly, but since day 1 I have not been able to get over how good the bass and overall sound is for such a small speaker. Highly recommend
ajmckay2Snagged one of these used for $20 locally! I like it a lot and use it for my computer speaker, I just wish it had a way to disable the auto off so it stayed on all the time.
argilmbBose soundlink mini…micro usb iykyk lol
armandoL27We’re talking about a speaker under $150 here buddy. The Bose sound link mini beats 95% of the speakers mentioned in these comments, in terms of sound quality. I also don’t want a sub stealing my $1500 B5 speaker.
ben5onI’ve had a Bose Mini Soundlink since 2012 still going strong and sounds incredible, even better than some newer ones.
bigjimiredI beg to differ, attempting to change battery was not easy and i ruined it. Very sad. Loved it. Would not got back together...
Bloodshot_BeardI have a Bose soundlink and a soundlink mini and I think they’re both pushing 15 years. The mini has been drug all over golf courses and gotten wet countless times. The soundlink has been outdoors on patios or back porches everywhere I’ve lived that entire time

-Bunny-I actually tried to buy a Soundlink mini like that on eBay and both times they were fakes. I have one and would like to get another.
They’re most likely to be fake especially from China. I was refunded no problem but they took a month to get here. Shameful
CanEHdianBuddaayI got one for birthday 12 years ago and it’s still going strong even though it needs to be plugged in permanently. Great little speaker that’s traveled the world with me.
ConsistencyWelderI had a Soundlink Mini, one of their supposedly good Bluetooth speakers. Its battery held up surprisingly well, even after 10 years it still worked. Of course, the reason it still worked is because I had never really used it because it sounded terrible. Muffled, distant, bloated bass that rattled the whole case and overpowered things like voices. Yet I was able to sell it and buy an actually good sounding BT speaker.
I have had a Soundlink Mini for about the same time. Just sold it though, got a surprisingly good price for such an old device. The truth is I never really liked the sound quality. Bought a couple X600's a couple months ago, and they blow the SL Mini away in sound quality. Also they're louder and have bigger batteries, and cost about the same as I paid for the SL Mini back in the day. The SL Mini just sounded too dark for me, to much bloated bass and muddled voices. Talk radio was annoying as voices don't go through very clearly. I probably expected too much from such a small device, but I was glad to learn that BT speakers have progressed in quality in the meantime. If I was looking for a replacement I'd definitely look at either an X600 for the sound quality, or a JBL Charge for the fantastic battery life.
